It's only taken 165 episodes, but I decided that it was about time we did a climate change back to basics type episode, going over the basic science of climate change. Talking about climate change is one of the most important things we can do (check out the brilliant Katharine Hayhoe for a great TED talk around this!) but many of us hold back due to a lack of confidence in our climate knowledge. So I plucked up the courage to ask one of my very favourite climate communicators, Dr Adam Levy, aka Climate Adam (check out his amazing You Tube channel here) to take us right back to basics, answering questions like ‘what is climate change?’ and ‘what are greenhouse gases?’ amongst others. I’m hugely aware it might be teaching some of you to suck eggs, but I really hope it’s helpful! GOOD NEWS!In the new Good News section after the main interview, I share some of the good climate news happening (because there is some, I promise!). Here's this weeks pick:A green energy boom in keeping 1.5C in sightManchester 'abuzz' about public transportBoth of these stories were taken from Positive News - What went right this week - this link has both of the good news stories mentioned if you want to read in more detail!Vanessa from the Sustainable(ish) Clubhouse didn't think she'd achieved much, but when she thought about it she had:Helped a friend make foraged dried flower decorations for her wedding; lent her car to her sister-in-law to borrow for a week after she changed jobs and had to give back her company car; watched The True Cost movie; and saved some broken solar lights her in-laws were going to put in the general waste and dropped them at the recycling point in B&Q instead.  LISTEN...
